उत्तर
\[m_1 \vec{v_1} + m_2 \vec{v_2}\] must be parallel to \[\vec{v}\]
By the law of conservation of linear momentum, we can write:
\[\text{ Initial momentum } = \text{ Final momentum }\]
\[ \Rightarrow m \vec{v} = m_1 \vec{v}_1 + m_2 \vec{v}_2 \]
\[ \Rightarrow ( m_1 \vec{v}_1 + m_2 \vec{v}_2 ) \text{ must be parallel to } \vec{v}\]
